Kebren (BC 480-440) Obol

ca late 6th-early 5th century BC. AR Hemiobol (0.58g, 9mm). Ram’s head left; below, tunny fish right / Quadripartite incuse square. Good VF, toned, some granularity.

The obverse type of a ram’s head left is very similar, stylistically, to the early coinage of Kebren. Although the type is not published with a tunny fish beneath the ram’s head, which is usually indicative of Kyzikos, there are other symbols, such as a bird, that do appear on the Kebren coinage beneath the ram.
